He leaves to mourn his loss his wife and four daughters; also three sisters: Mrs. John Downing, of Eldon; Mrs. Ella Kerr and Mrs. Robert Forbes, of Keosauqua; also nine grand children. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. A. W. McBlain, were held at the Eldon M.E. church on Monday at 2 p.m. and burial was at the Eldon cemetery. The church was filled with relatives and friends, which shows the high esteem in which he was held.
